Gallowbraids of Greed & Gold

Down, digging ever deeper

Harrow my hallowed soil, with their frantic jagged hands

Riven for stone and steel, material bled from my marrow

Curse their blasted eyes, avarice their burning sign

Black spiral dancing into arms of the death knell

Deaf unto the tolling bell, lockstep in line with souls to sell

We betrayed her

Rend my flesh from bone, as if tearing hearth from home

I am empty, made hollow by my own

For ligatures of silver, gallowbraids of greed and gold

We betrayed her

Hand in hand we march into the Styx

Drown, deathless drowned

Glowering Strix, sing our maledictions

No obols for eyes, all that glimmers is gone

Spent on age of thoughtless sleep

To betray the Earth beneath their feet

Black spiral dancers swinging from the tolling bell

We betrayed her

Hand in hand we march into the Styx

Drown, Drowned

Oh glowering Strix, sing our maledictions

Hand in hand we march into the Styx

Down, Drag us down

Lash us to the tolling bell
